'The original is the best' is a phrase which is often said and here this could not be truer. Valerie Thomas and Korky Paul have created a story which has stood the test of time beautifully. The story of Winnie and Wilbur will be just as enticing for children today as when it was first written.
Winnie and Wilbur creates wonderful discussions about colour and contrast, relationships and compromise, even design. I have always loved seeing the houses that children would design for Winnie and clothes that they would design for Wilbur so that he was not black!
It is wonderful to see the additional sections of this book. Winnie and Wilbur have had so many wonderful adventures over the years and it is fascinating to see what they feel are their favourite parts. If you haven't read this story before don't waste any more time. This is an absolute classic and belongs in every child's repertoire, every classroom books case and to be regularly read at bedtime. If this is already a favourite, please check out the additional sections by Valerie and Korky, it is brilliant. World Book day would not be the same without Winnie the Witch. Thank you for 35 years of fun.
